Why do Western women wear less than men, when they have more to conceal?

Question

doesnt seem like equality to me, seems like you are treated like a piece of meat.

Answer 1

~It's simple economics. Women on the whole earn a lot less money then men. However, women's clothing costs a lot more than men's clothing. Culturally, Western women can't get away with wearing a bedsheet so they have to dress in various layers of clothing. Since they can't afford to buy more clothing, they have to economize somehow. Voila! Less money...less clothes.

Answer 2

Sorry, this is not a religious question.
Men have just as much to conceal as any women.
Women are not treated like a piece of meat in the "WEST" or in America, except by a few uneducated women and men that have been raised not to think for themselves, but are more robot or puppet than proper thinking human being.
Living in the "WEST" is more difficult than anywhere because more is asked of the person.

Answer 3

Not all do. Nor do all have more to conceal. What they have (I know this is not an easy concept to understand for some) is more FREEDOM and CHOICE to wear what they want. I won't even argue about the "equality" and "piece of meat" definitions in the middle east other than to say I do not understand how Women can be treated so badly there. If I say more than that, I will get REAL angry.

Answer 4

You choose your level of dress and some women choose to wear less. Men and women wear equally little in summer time when both sexes wear shorts and tank tops. And mens swimwear is usually just a bottom. Men go topless all the time.
(construction workers, meow) And "more to conceal" would indicate that we have extra parts that men don't. Yes our breasts are larger than mens, but with obesity on the rise thats not always the case. And there are many cultures where female nudity doesn't mean the end of civilization.

Equality exsists in that both genders choose their level of dress or undress. (depending on the laws)

Answer 5

Hello? Is this the "uncovered meat" Imam from Oz? Wow, how you been? I heard you went underground, and I never dreamed you'd bubble back to the surface in Yahoo!

Well, anyway, why should anyone conceal anything? If you're welding, or frying bacon, then yeah, nudism isn't a good thing. However, why cover up?

Besides, any doctor will tell you that most people are SERIOUSLY ugly when naked -- only a few are attractive when they take their clothes off.

God sees us as we are -- naked, and in most cases, pretty stupid. We are born that way, and are only slightly better when we're buried.

Answer 6

Women wear what they want to wear just like men. That's equality. I never ever wear less than a man because I don't like dressing like a slut.

Answer 7

They WANT to. They are EQUAL in the sense that both sexes are not restricted by silly dress codes in public. Wearing less is also a subconscious attempt by women to lure potential mates, it's part of a natural law.

Answer 8

They obviously want to be treated like a piece of meat if they wear revealing cloths. Even Christian women should know better, if they read their Bibles. But having said that i still think men have to control themselves, we can't rape a woman because she wants us to.

Answer 9

They're pressed for exhibitionism in order to sell in a competitive world. With their moral values different from so many eastern societies they've to lure a husband, get a job, rise the career-ladder... and for all this they need to push themselves, and there is nothing better than exploiting the tenderness of their sex.

Answer 10

I've never seen a topless woman walking down the street, dude. Why are you worried about, anyhow?
